I’ve been wearing my #crochet lanyard at work all week, and it’s been quite an interesting experience.
I’ve been asked about it every day; and, except for one young woman, everybody would ask me who made it for me.
When I tell them I made it, they either didn’t believe me or were so shocked I had to keep telling them it’s true 😅
I’d then show them things I’d knitted and they all get a bit mind blown.
I don’t normally share that I can knit and crochet with people at work unless it directly comes up in conversation, so I think it really catches people off guard that this Iraqi man is doing what they see as an old woman’s pastime.
The young woman (a patient’s relative) was the only person who came up to ask about her relative, and suddenly went “OH MY GOD DID YOU CROCHET YOUR LANYARD?!”
I told her I was very happy that she actually immediately assumed that I’d made it, rather than ask me who made it for me 😊
Anyway, now I’m having to make a batch cos suddenly everyone wants a crochet lanyard 🙄
